Pope Leo XIV: Violence in Nigeria Targets Both Christians and Muslims

Pope Leo XIV has stated that both Christians and Muslims are victims of Nigeria’s widespread violence, linking the crisis to extremist groups as well as economic and land-related conflicts. In a widely shared video interview from Castel Gandolfo, the Pope explained that “Christians and Muslims have been slaughtered,” and that danger exists in certain areas for all people, not just one religious group. He identified multiple causes for the bloodshed: “There’s a question of terrorism. There’s a question that has to do a lot with economics, if you will, and control of the lands that they have.” Pope Leo XIV urged the Nigerian government to step up efforts to protect all citizens and promote true religious freedom. The Pope previously referenced Nigeria among the countries where Christians face significant persecution, but emphasized a balanced view, recognizing victims across communities. His […]

Why Goodluck Jonathan Stepped Back From Politics

Former President Goodluck Jonathan explained that his membership in the West African Elders Forum (WAEF) requires strict non-partisanship, which has kept him out of active politics. Speaking at his foundation’s 10th anniversary, Jonathan noted the forum’s mission is to prevent election crises across West Africa, intervening before problems escalate. Jonathan admitted he disappointed associates who expected a return to politics, but adherence to WAEF rules is a priority. He condemned the “rascality” in the current political climate and called for more responsible and prepared leadership. He reflected sadly on the kidnapping of 25 girls in Kebbi State, recalling similar incidents from his presidency, and offered prayers for their safe return. Jonathan said his foundation—focused on democracy and governance after advice from Tony Elumelu—committed to advancing democracy, peace, and institutional reforms across Africa, including mediation and building trust between citizens and […]

IPOB Rejects Nnamdi Kanu’s Life Sentence, Cites Lack of Legal Basis

The Indigenous People of Biafra (IPOB) has rejected the Federal High Court’s judgment sentencing its leader, Nnamdi Kanu, to life imprisonment for terrorism. IPOB argues Kanu’s advocacy constitutes lawful self-determination, not terrorism—calling the conviction unconstitutional and unsupported by Nigerian law. Spokesperson Emma Powerful stated no arms, explosives, or attack plans were ever linked to Kanu, and stressed that self-determination is protected under international rights conventions. IPOB referenced Section 36(12) of the 1999 Constitution, which mandates that only offenses defined in written law can result in conviction. The group said the judgment failed to meet legal standards and ignored precedent from higher courts. Kanu’s broadcasts and directives on Radio Biafra led to charges, but IPOB insists on international monitoring and calls for a UN-supervised referendum. The group promises continued peaceful advocacy and a detailed legal response.

U.S. Lawmakers Question Nigeria’s Will, Capacity to Curb Violence

U.S. lawmakers have sharply questioned Nigeria’s ability and willingness to protect Christian communities and other victims of extremist violence amid worsening insecurity. At a heated congressional hearing, legislators pressed for accountability and urgent action, reviewing Nigeria’s status as a Country of Particular Concern (CPC). Congressman Bill Huizenga accused President Tinubu’s government of “sitting back” as insecurity rose. Lawmakers and State Department officials cited mass killings, targeted attacks by radical groups, and criticized Abuja for not doing enough or downplaying the crisis. Concerns were raised about a halted youth peacebuilding program and calls for rethinking U.S. aid to Nigeria. Recommendations included accountability for leaders, deeper scrutiny, and assistance focused on technical support and long-term reforms. Meanwhile, Nigerian officials defended the country’s record, insisting there is no religious intolerance. Coalition groups urged domestic reforms, investigating religious freedom violations, and called for interventions […]

U.S. Congress Highlights Alleged Christian Genocide in Nigeria

At a recent U.S. congressional hearing, lawmakers spotlighted alleged genocide and violent persecution of Christians in Nigeria, urging the Nigerian government to strengthen religious freedom, prosecute perpetrators, and secure lives and property. Congressman Riley Moore met Nigeria’s NSA Nuhu Ribadu and security chiefs in Washington, pressing for counterterrorism, security aid, and protection for vulnerable communities. U.S. State Department officials stressed that thousands of Christians have been killed over two years, citing attacks by Fulani militants and Boko Haram, and warned of humanitarian catastrophe if violence continues unchecked. President Trump and Congress pledged serious resolve to end religiously motivated violence and urged Nigeria to cooperate in joint response efforts. Bishop Wilfred Anagbe called Nigeria “the deadliest place to be a Christian,” with attacks intensifying and little accountability, risking the near-erasure of Christianity in affected regions. Nigerian officials discussed security challenges and […]

Taraba Governor Orders Immediate Payment to Cleared Civil Servants

Governor Agbu Kefas of Taraba State has ordered the immediate payment of salaries and outstanding entitlements to civil servants cleared by the State Staff Verification Committee. The formal submission of the committee’s report marks a major milestone after five months of a sweeping workforce audit that led to the removal of over 7,000 names due to irregular records. The governor commended the committee for its transparency and called for follow-up reviews for workers whose recruitment suffered from administrative lapses. He emphasized the importance of accountability in the civil service and noted that decisions should stand the test of time. Committee chairman Alhaji Abdulkadir Haruna said just 1,410 workers were fully cleared and will be reinstated with immediate payment of their entitlements. The findings revealed cases of payroll fraud and called for tighter controls, digital payroll automation, and adherence to proper […]
